    Why not an Airport BaseStation with ADSL?

    Er, why not? Don't lots of people user Airport Express with other 802.11b/g wireless units? I agree. I don't agree quite so much about this. Let me ask, are any of the many, many ADSL PCI cards (or PCMCIA cards) Mac compatible? If not, that's not quite Apple's fault; the vendors are...

    iPod as a hard drive for a Treo

    Good lord people, just admit that it's a really good idea =)

    Come onnnnn $500 headless unit =) ...I don't think there's any chance they would be able to keep up with demand =)

    What do people really think about Microsoft Word?

    ...And no longer available for the Mac since we seem to have a difficult time keeping applications on the platform.

    What do people really think about Microsoft Word?

    Hmmm... Exactly how many security flaws (and, I suppose just as importantly, exploits) have been found/released for Word v.X?

    And we have a winner (maybe)...

    Now, you can get Newton emulators for a palm or pocket PC, so would that cut it? =) The continued infatuation of people with the Newton convinces me that, were Apple to kill the Mac tomorrow, large numbers of people would still be using their boxes and writing new software for them 20 years...

    Apple Q4 2004 Financial Results: Revenue Up 37 Percent

    I wonder if higher market share (i.e. economy of scale) would help drive these "overhead" costs down? Hmmm... Kudos to Apple, though, for a pretty darned good quarter! It's great to see things looking that much brighter.

    iTMS Downloads Top 150 Million Songs

    Does anyone know of any sites that track the sales of other stores? I'm curious how Napster and Rhapsody's share compares, though probably harder to track with the subscription-based options (perhaps just in revenue?)

    CherryOS: Yet another Mac OS on PC emulator

    I wonder how many remember buying single-hole punches just so we could add an extra "notch" to turn those "single-sided" 5 1/4" floppies into "double-sided". Hey, from 180K to 360K, for half the price!

    CherryOS: Yet another Mac OS on PC emulator

    From the research performed by several people so far, it's very likely that the "demo" versions of CherryOS have actually been modified versions of PearPC. There's fairly compelling evidence of this (so essentially he'd be charging $50 for the nice installer, wizard, and UI improvements). If...

    OS X on X-Box

    It also runs on a huge number of other platforms, albeit not as well. By far the most effort has been expended at trying to get it to perform well on x86, which is probably the most common place it'd be run. Right now it runs at about 1/15 efficiency on x86 (executing 15 instructions to...

    Now that G5 iMacs have been received...

    No, looking at the Apple spec site, I guess the only drives they use are 7200rpm. Still, I wonder what gives? Oh well, the thing just rocks =)

    Now that G5 iMacs have been received...

    Finally went and got mine yesterday. Ended up breaking down and buying the 20". It's *fantastic*! So far I love this machine, it seems perfect for what I need to do at home. The screen is unbelievable (I have a 20" Cinema at work, this just seems even better to me for some reason), and the...

    Why didn't you just take it back to the store?

    Platinum Theme (Mail.app) - "The one with Susan..."

    I was originally attracted to the Mac OS (X and above) mainly because of its photo-realistic widgets and other elements, its air and feel of professional graphic design, its ability to provide a colorful interface without looking like something produced by Playskool. Is it just me, or are...

    Platinum Theme (Mail.app) - "The one with Susan..."

    In some sub-dialects we also decide to add and remove vowels that aren't there, such as in the case of the word "nuclear" (pronounced "nook-yoo-lar" by some folks). (I'm sorry, I just can't allow this thread to get back on track =)

    Platinum Theme (Mail.app) - "The one with Susan..."

    Sorry, many (most?) of us speak this obscure dialect of English called "American" (Not to be confused with "North American"), where we tend to drop extra vowels (i.e. "color", "favorite", etc) In some sub-dialects we also tend to drop vowels altogether (plz stp crrctng my spllng), which the...

    Platinum Theme (Mail.app) - "The one with Susan..."

    Soulseek, you need to calm down and quit harassing the other users - you've been doing this quite frequently lately. Most of us have been on these forums for quite a while longer than you, so I don't think you have much right to complain about the user base "anymore"... =)

    .Mac disk storage increased to 250MB

    Sorry, I was looking at the ".Mac" section of the Apple store. It still says 15MB IMAP storage, and 100MB iDisk.

    .Mac disk storage increased to 250MB

    ? "Upped your storage by another 100MB"? Can you "upgrade" .Mac storage? Why would that bring you to 1.25GB?
